Congress culture: BSY on high drama in Karnataka Council

Bengaluru: Terming the ruckus in the legislative council as ‘Congress culture’, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa urged the upper house Chairman, who is facing a no-confidence motion, to resign immediately.
“The JD(S) has openly said they will not support the Chairman. After knowing that it lacks majority support, the Congress should have ensured that the Chairman resigns,” he said.
Stating that once a no-confidence motion is tabled, according to legalities and experts, one is not eligible to take the chair, he said, “It was publicly stated by us yesterday that the Deputy Chairman should conduct the proceedings as the no-confidence was against the Chairman himself… also he (Chairman) and Congress party do not have majority support.”
Shetty was elected as Chairman of the council during the Congress-JD(S) coalition government.
Political equations have changed much since then with the regional party now joining hands with the BJP to remove him.
